Any history on this Tuscan?

[dave tvr]

Does anyone know or used to own this one? The owner says he has no history files or anything, no paperwork of a rebuild , factory or any other, it's cheap and cat d so would be an on going project that I could enjoy using whilst working on it, a little history would be nice though
Thanks all

Looks lovely, but then I'm a sucker for a red interior.

I saw that!emailled the guy and he seems nice. He bought it with damage so must have been salvage.

Seems like a nice guy

Ah ha , would you be able to shed some light on the subject of what happened and if it was rebuilt in your time ? Only if it's not to painful to do so of course
Thanks

I'm in the process of sending him the service history, it has not had an engine rebuild as every year I took it to Dom at TVR power for a full service and he gave the engine a clean bill of health. In the 3.5 years that I owned it I spent 2k plus per year on servicing and replacing anything that needed replacing.

Hope this helps! I'm quite temped to buy it back myself but my wife and I have just had twins so that takes care of that thought!

Thanks for the info , so just to clarify its got full service history and with tvr power in your ownership ? I assume you had an accident and this person got it from you/ insurance company/salvage?
Thanks again
Dave

Its not sold but withdrawn by the vender, guess little / no intrest and below expected value.

Try contacting by email, close to me so could take a sniff round if you get details, and chat to owner.

Ok thanks , I was interested at the right price, after all is was a cat d with no history and no rebuild. I do plan to look at another on sat so if that's no good I'll mail him.
Thanks
